Some quick thoughts from First Strike qualifiers below...
I'm also going to do a companion "redzone" stream tomorrow, hopping from cast to cast commenting on the most interesting stuff with @wyattriver_
Will be watching all interesting VODs in full afterwards. Long stream.

Envy running food on duelist, mummAy Oping Omen. Why has this happened? Food still makes a lot of mistakes on duelist and overlaps with kaboose. Fragging is there but I don't think this is optimal. Think they'll struggle but only against top8 opponents.

NRG using xCeeD makes an overall underwhelming roster if aiming for the top. eeiu on Sova/Breach is a good kind of odd, but strategy is extremely mediocre. It's like watching T1: very slow, uninspiring defaults, and not using utility combos to take map control. Very unconvincing.

After the first day, it's blindingly obvious that First Strike amateur teams are a FEAST for scouts in the scene. Just by watching the VODs of top teams that had close games in ro64, you can spot 5 up-and-coming talents with high potential EASILY.

I also got a chance to listen to a bunch of commentators that I wouldn't usually hear, and I enjoyed a lot of them. Vince and Dust were great as expected, Paul and Door were a fun duo, Tanner_Metro reminded me of a mini Puckett, and I'm sure I'll enjoy more tomorrow.
